Twinkle's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

It is disgraceful that money takes preference over the protection of valuable envionmental forests and the many creatures that live there. Tasmania has already lost the Tasmanian Tiger to extinction, how many more species do they want to eradicate for the so called state of progress.

Anonymous's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Don't mill

Human1's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

"Runaway profit trains end in an environmetal wreck!"

imacie's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

It's an indisputable fact that everything must come to an end eventually. That means the people in power at perpetual (is it really?), ANZ and Minister for Environment are one day going to lose their jobs. Do they want to go out known as people who sunk to their knees and made themselves a quick buck (but costing the future a whole lot more) or do they want to go out on their feet standing for what's honorable and making the future a BETTER place? And yes the forests of Tasmania must one day come to an end too, but shouldn't that be sometime coinciding with the sun running out of light?? Have some thought for the long term please!!

stop having short term thinking...
trees are life... long long life...
plant some hemp farms instead, give employment there. A wood substitute that is lighter and stronger than wood can be made from hemp plants. As well as many other products that replace fuel, cotton and plastic.
It's not just about us right now, it's about the generations to come.
Leave Australia as one of the most beautiful countries in the world, leave the trees right where they are!

MikeH's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Stop this dioxin pumping monstrosity. Live up to your words Mr. Garret

Frustrated!'s Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

I am really disappointed in the approach the Tasmanian Govt has taken. The fast tracking process automatically leads one to think there is something to hide. If there were no problems, why wasn't it allowed to go through the appropriate enquiry? The current toadying to Gunns is ridiculous - how can the govt pledge water to supply the mill, but then support Aurora being forced to warn of rolling black outs due to low water levels?!!

AGH's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Please protect our environment for our children.

Anonymous's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

You are in the fortunate position of being able to make a difference to the future ecological health of our country. Remember - no-one wants to look back at this moment and think "how could we have been so negligent?"

Anonymous's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

ANGER IS MY FIRST RESPONSE COMMOMN SENSE IS MY SECOND, HOPE IS MY THIRD

Heidi2's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

I took out a home loan through ANZ several years ago, unaware of their involvement in environmental terrorism. I am currently looking at remortgaging and my choice of bank will certainly be influenced largely by whether the ANZ choose money or morals. As for you Peter Garrett, let's see more credibility and less hypocrisy....

Anonymous's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Wake up.

jacko2's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Trees are our life.This pulp mill will destroy our future. Please keep a future for our children and ban the mill. ANZ, your decision will show us what you are made of. whether I leave my accounts with you or not will be your decision over this matter

Fi1's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

I am now in a state of alarm regarding the destruction of our planet, for developments which make no sense, and the total lack of foresight by politicians. As one of the ageing population I remember raising concerns about the salinity of the Murray River...now look at the state ot that once magnificent river system!we will begin to suffer due to human stupidity ;of poorly managed natural resources. I believe many of our farmers shuold be sued for poor land management, not compensated!Yes, we must stop this pulp mill!!!

PEMO's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

This is the wrong Mill in the wrong Place.
Peter Garrett has sold out big-time (although I doubt that he EVER had any concern for anything other than his own profile, and would use any issue to promote it).

Jeremy6's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

I find it hard to believe that this inappropriate and somewhat ridiculous project has been given the go ahead. From my careful research of available information I have found that not only will the proposed pulpmill have questionable economic benefits for Tasmania and Australia, but will also most likely cause significant negative social and health impacts. I am still yet to find intelligent pro-pulpmill information that has not been provided by Gunns themselves. If this pulp-mill is going to be 'so good' for us, why aren't there some independant analysts espousing the benefits? Why have governments been so willing to support such a project based on a 'sunset' industry with questionable benefits for the people of Tasmania and Australia? Especially when it will come at the expense of other progressive 'sunrise' industries such as tourism and wine-making, not to mention staples such as fishing and food production. I was not against the idea of a pulpmill in Tasmania initially, but find the current proposal is far from the 'clean-green chlorine-free', 'plantation-based' pulpmill situated in a remote location that I was potentially willing to support.

Asparagus's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Why? Oh,Why does all the damage and devestation this will cause to a beautiful valley just to discover in the future that 'it should never have been done'

star13's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

Sustainable living is no longer a luxury it's a necessity. Current economic profitability can only last as long as our resources can. Every conceivable detail must be must be accounted. Green means clean

leree's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

tasmania is my home country she is only going to stay alive with her forests and rivers my children have tears to see the 500year old forests let them be please

L Hunt's Pledge to ANZ, Perpetual and Minister Turnbull about the pulp mill:

I believe it is time that corporations like Gunns, ANZ, Perpetual, and the government took on environmentally responsive leadership roles instead of staying stuck in short sighted, quick buck careless environmental
terrorism.
